When the Nest Empties, What Comes Next?
The kids are flying the nest, or maybe they already have.
You're proud. You're relieved. But you're feeling... a little lost.
There’s a silence in the house and a space in your life.
And standing next to you is someone who’s been beside you through it all, but somehow feels distant now that the constant rhythm of parenting and the focus on family has faded.
If you're feeling:
- A space that needs filling
- A desire to connect deeper
- A longing to rekindle what brought you together before life got so busy
- A yearning to discover what this next chapter could look like, together…
You’re not alone. And this retreat is for you.
Introducing a Retreat for This Pivotal Moment in Life
The Space Between Us: The Life in Front of Us Retreat is a 5 day immersive experience designed exclusively for couples navigating the transition beyond the empty nest.
This is a powerful pause and transformative springboard into the future.
A space to reflect, realign, and reimagine life, and love, beyond the family chapter.
You devoted decades to your children. Now it’s time to devote time to yourselves, as individuals, and as a couple.
This Retreat Is About More Than Just “Coping”,
It’s about creating.
- Reignite emotional and physical connection.
Daily life, logistics, and parenting took center stage. It’s time to bring each other back into focus, with honesty, tenderness, and renewed intimacy. - Rediscover who you are, now.
You’ve both changed. This is a chance to meet each other again, without the roles and routines that defined you for years. - Find meaningful purpose beyond parenting.
Whether you paused your career or gave your all to family life, now is your time. Together, we’ll explore what matters most to you, and how to live it fully. - Fill the silence with something beautiful.
The house may be quieter, but your life doesn’t have to feel empty. You’ll leave with new ideas, new energy, and a vision for the road ahead. - Design your next great adventure, as partners.
Raising a family was one of your greatest joint ventures. Now, you get to decide what you build next, side by side.
Why This Retreat Matters, Now
“I was happy my kids were off chasing their dreams... but the quietness of the house was deafening.”
“For years we poured ourselves into parenting. Now I’m wondering who we are beyond that.”
“We’re proud... but a little unmoored. What now?”
If any of this resonates, know this:
There’s nothing wrong with you.
This is a seismic life shift, emotionally, psychologically, and relationally.
This retreat helps you process, reconnect, and begin again, not from scratch, but from experience, wisdom, and shared history.

Who This Retreat Is For
- You’re married, partnered, or in a long-term relationship.
- Your last child is leaving home soon, or recently has.
- You’re looking to reconnect emotionally, not just logistically.
- You feel a tug toward new purpose, reinvention, or renewal.
- You want to grow stronger together, not drift apart.
Whether you’re feeling lost, relief, confusion, or excitement, or all of the above, this week is for you.
Your Hosts & Facilitators
Led by experienced somatic practitioners, working with the body, who understand how to unlock what holds you back and release what drives you forward.
This retreat combines ancient wisdom combined with modern science with compassionate, guidance before, during and after the retreat.
You’ll be supported by professionals who understand the terrain, and are deeply committed to helping you thrive through.
Why body work?
The research proves that working with the body (rather than talking round in circles) creates the most impactful change in the shortest possible time, and that’s what we want for you.
This is what people have said about our work:
“I can’t thank you enough for the most amazing weekend. I feel SO much better physically and very much more positive”
“Really enjoyed feeling so relaxed at Telfit!”
“The powerful restorative and nurturing practices of Jono Goosen and Jane Mackay created a transformational experience for all of us.”
"It was a privilege to stay at Telfit Farm and take part in the retreat run by Jonathan and Jane - life changing!"
"My most favourite surprise of all was discovering there was a secluded wild swimming pool, tucked away in a little valley. A great beginning to each morning; a – cold dip at 6.30."
Don’t Fall Into The Empty Nest Trap.
All too often when the kids leave home the temptation is to throw yourself into your work or battle through the emotions believing there’s no alternative other than to slug it out.
Avoiding painful emotions by escaping them will yield nothing and leave you feeling more isolated. Stewing in painful emotions just makes the life hard.
Instead, use this moment as the springboard for fresh adventures and deeper connection. We’ll show you how.
Ready to Begin Again, Together?
This isn’t about “getting back to how things were.”
It’s about stepping into what’s possible now.
Because this chapter can be your most meaningful yet.
Join us for 5 days of reconnection, reflection, and renewal.
